Griffin Leather Bracers of Scouting ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Griffin Leather Bracers of Scouting is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Griffin Leather ×3, Adamantite Nugget ×2 and Grade 2 Dexterity Dissolvent ×1 — which resolve to 10 distinct raw materials totalling 28 units, plus 22 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,936 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,414 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 18 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Fire Crystal, 4 Earth Cluster, 4 Wind Cluster and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 60, Alchemist to Lv 60 and Blacksmith to Lv 58 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 10 raw materials come out of the ground, and 5 of them are time-gated: Adamantite Ore (0:00, 2:00, 6:00, 10:00, 12:00, 14:00, 18:00, 22:00), Clary Sage (0:00, 20:00) and 3 others. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 4 Eorzean hours, about 12 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Adamantite Nugget has the widest use: 79 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
